Wendell Berry Workshop with the Blue Ridge Center

Wendell Berry has been one of modern America's most original and creative thinkers about rural life, farming, environmentalism, and literature. In his essays, novels, and poems, he has profoundly affected many others. This one-evening workshop showcased experts who've been inspired to “live out” Berry’s writings in different ways. Our panelists included Robert Mosalgo, a software engineer who also runs a small dairy, raises chickens, and does timber-framing, and Sam Heath, who has a background in community organizing and justice initiatives, informed by Berry's holistic attention to place, history, and culture.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special conversation!
